Blacktip

Tied with the sand tiger at 29 attacks, the blacktip is more prevalent in shallow waters. Thus, blacktips often come in contact with humans. Fortunately, after an unappetizing bite, they leave people and aren’t known for causing fatalities. Only one attack from this shark resulted in a death. As you may have guessed, the literal dark tips gave this creature its name.

Hammerhead

We hope you’re catching on, but as most people know, the shape of this shark’s head gave it the name hammerhead. At over thirty attacks but luckily no fatalities, the hammerhead is continually noted for its aggressive nature. Again, its probably best that the only time you take your chances with hammerheads is in an aquarium.
